I have had similar problems here in Minnesota. Napa does carry a brass cap and
rotor set for our Daks. Just make sure you ask for the brass version. Echlin,
which is a related company to Borg & Warner makes the Napa brass cap and rotor.

I've also had real good luck with the Accel Brass cap and rotor set, although
this set usually runs about $5.00 more.

Good Luck
